I first learned about this set through CASB's excellent site. It has also been announced by Birdlife International publicising the Caribbean Endemic Birds Festival 2004. The species are all endemic to Jamaica, but only 4 are new for my collection: Jamaican Oriole, Orangequit, Yellow-shouldered Grassquit and Arrowhead Warbler.

Each of the stamps shows a logo logo which has a yellow and black bird which may be a Spindalis.
Here is a better version of the logo logo which appears to show Jamaican Spindalis (Spindalis nigricephala).
